    Just purchased Indian Gimbal

    i'm using a 300-800 on one. Enough said. My preferred head is actually still the manfrotto 393 funnily enough. Unfortunately the bolts are not of hte best quality on those and its a rather horrid design for storing away. The plates on by the same ppl are of much lower quality and i'm not sure if...

    Need new boots??

    i got a pair of kathmandu leather boots a while back and they are just great. Been around the world with me literally and survived both tropical and desert environ. I got them for about £60 during a summer sale and its well worth it. Did i mention that their sympatex is better than goretex? Its...

    whats the average distance between the hides and the birds? Close enough to shoot with a DLSR and long lens? or is scoping a necessity?

    Beddington Farm

    Anyone knows what's the status of beddington farm? Some site say access is limited to the local bird group, but i have no idea how to get in touch with them. I live in tooting, so i'm arguably quite local and would love to visit the place!

    Cheap Gimbal head!!!

    i currently use the manfrotto 393 with the 300-800 monster and its stable as hell. Just a few nits though, its shape makes it really hard to transport as no matter how one folds or disassembles it, its still quite bulky unlike the wimberly which seems to store better. More importantly, it...

    Cheap Gimbal head!!!

    Actually, i think the W head is only a registered design in the US/EU etc. I don't think it applies to india in which case the manufacturer is in every right to make a similar one and market it. I'm interested in the head too to be honest, especially the paintwork. The W head uses a powdercoat...

    poor male. I was there a few seasons ago when the female died and the male went in to mourning. It was hard to even catch a sight of him. I hope that isn't the case this year.

    truly waterproof walking boots?

    Couple of things, I seem to recall Goretex does offer a lifetime warranty on all products with their tag on them when it comes to waterproofing issues. Perhaps its time to call them up on that? Secondly, no matter how well water proofed a pair of boots are, water can always seep in from the...
